在项目的制作中有两个主要的挑战，第一个挑战是入口的规模(6米宽)，而里面的化合物则明显更大。这造成了室内商业空间和街道前沿之间的隔离，我们觉得这对零售空间的形成是不利的。第二个挑战是项目计划的最初模棱两可。与大多数推测的开发一样，项目的使用和功能在设计过程中没有定义。

There were two main challenges in the making of project, the first challenge was the scale of the entrance (6m wide) in contrast to the compound inside that was markedly bigger. This created a segregation between the interior commercial space and the street front that we felt was disadvantageous in the making of a retail space. The second challenge was the initial ambiguity of the project's program. As with most speculative developments, the use and functionality of the project was undefined during the design process.

该网站有一个单调的环境，没有任何独特的身份，这提供了潜在的里程碑，一个生动的程序。这一设计灵感来自该地区传统建筑的记忆，从入口处开始。入口由深色红木砖制成，可用作茶馆。立面由一系列打开和关闭的长窗组成，这取决于室内空间的功能需求。

The site had a drab environment without any distinctive identity, which provided the potential for a landmark with a lively program. The design was inspired by the memories of traditional architecture within the area, beginning at the entrance. The entrance is made of dark mahogany brick, and may be used as a teahouse. The facade comprises a series of long windows that open and close depending on the functional needs of the interior space.

建筑是一个纯粹的盒子，充满了光和阴影，并进一步加强了丰富的模式和材料。内部布局类似于一系列多米诺骨牌，空间按功能、服务区域和工作人员宿舍加以区分。此外，在对未来变化的预期中，空间被设计成具有规划灵活性。

The architecture is then a pure box that is filled with light and shadow, and further enhanced by the rich patterns and materials. The interior layout is similar to that of a series of dominos, and the spaces are distinguished by function; service areas and staff quarters. In addition, in the anticipation of future change, the space has been designed to be programmatically flexible.
